Since none of us are able to fly into space and change the planet, Superman-style, any actions on climate change will be done at the local level. 

Message received long ago at both Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) and Rogue Climate.  Those two organizations work hard to put climate change concerns into action in Southern Oregon. 

And they are far from the only ones... Ashland-based Geos Institute also gets into the act, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival even addresses climate change in its work.  Reps from all four organizations visit the studio to talk up their work.
